Event Booking Policy
At Midway Pool Hall, it is our intention to work closely with large groups to help facilitate smooth and enjoyable group bookings and buyouts.
We truly appreciate and value everyone who wishes to host an event with us. However, our top priority is to maintain a positive, fun, and welcoming environment for all of our guests — especially our regulars in the neighbourhood.
We do not take reservations as we strive to keep the venue first come, first served to ensure fair and consistent access for everyone.
Due to the complexities of table rentals and the nature of our space, party bookings are not always possible, but we’ll always do our best to accommodate where we can.
